I cannot help the loneliness I feel, deep in my heart

When I see you upon the hill

Knowing that when you stare into the stars

You are not thinking of me

#

Though I have all I could ever want

There is nothing that I truly need

The one thing I desire is beyond my grasp

That one thing is your love for me

#

It pains me to see your anguished face

As you walk down the winding roads

Ever searching, never finding

The one who is not me

#

The face of the one who is not me

Haunts my every step

The face of the one I could never be

The face of the one you truly want

#

I try so hard to be there for you

There is a part of you that is mine

But the person who I will never be

Is the one that lies in your heart

#

This pain that tears at my heart

Threatens every day to take my life

So much so that I strive to leave

When our road reaches is end

#

Though I love you more than life

The pain you cause is not worth the love

When I am gone, maybe then

You will realize that I was the one who held your heart

#

My love for you shall live on through the ages

Alas that you had the folly of fools, not the wisdom of the sages
